Our take on the Pioneer TS-A6880R

Pioneer's "A-Series" speakers sparkle with aggressive styling and powerful sound. Pioneer reinforces its signature foamed IMPP woofer cone with high-strength Aramid fibers, allowing for increased power handling. A butyl rubber surround helps keep the bass response tight and punchy.

The 4-way TS-A6880R 6"x8" speaker delivers extraordinary detail and clarity with its balanced dome pearl polycarbon midrange, PET silver film dome tweeter, and PET silver film dome supertweeter. Grilles are not included — factory grilles are appropriate for most installations.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Woofers: Each speaker features an interlaced Aramid fiber-reinforced IMPP (Injection Molded Polypropylene) cone woofer. With long Aramid fibers interlacing together inside, this IMPP cone design provides the strength and rigidity powerful bass sound requires. The high-density, compressed internal architecture is resilient, stacks up against high power and transfers sound very quickly. The result is full-bodied, rich sound.

Midranges: Each speaker uses a 1-5/8" Foamed Pearl PolyCarbon (PPC) balanced dome midrange with magnetic fluid and a strontium magnet. PPC is a lightweight material that delivers high sensitivity, open sound character and smooth extended frequency response. Its high inner loss reduces distortion. It's blended with special carbon fiber for UV resistance and protection against the harsh environment of a car.

Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 5/8" PET silver film dome tweeter and a 3/8" PET silver film supertweeter for crisp, clear highs.

Surrounds: For durability and a smoother response, this speaker uses a butyl rubber surround.

Super clarity and bass

Written By jager, Chicagoland on Saturday, January 21, 2006
 
Put this in the front of a F-150 with a set of Excelon's KFC-X680's in the back and they're paired nicely. Well worth it for the 4-ways. Sounds across the spectrum is very distinct.

Once word for both speakers though...Dynamat. It will make a night and day difference in tightness of sound in a truck. You need it. I included the xtreme speaker kit for both front and back and I'm glad I did. The difference in SQ with and without the Dynamat (thought I might get away without it in the fronts) is amazing. I could amp these easily however the head unit's 20w RMS is very loud and defined up to 80%. Perfect combo where you could get away everyday without a sub/amp.

great bang for the buck

Written By loserjeff, memphis tn on Thursday, December 29, 2005
 
these speakers are amazing for the price. i have had four of these in my taurus for over a year now and they continue to amaze me with every addition i put on my stereo. i cant find any weak point on these speakers. i currently have them at 50Hz crossover but im seriously considering moving it up to a safer 80 or higher Hz due to the amount of bass my cda-9855 is slamming on these (media xpander tries to turn them into subs even on its lowest setting). put some dynamat around the surfaces surrouding these speakers and any sound quality fanatic will wet their pants. i imagine i'll bust either the bass driver on these or tear the speakers before long, but i dont care cause at $99 ill buy new ones every year.

Good so far

Written By Matt J, San Antonio, TX on Saturday, October 29, 2005
 
I put two pairs of these in my 97 F-150, and I think they sound awesome....especially compared to stock. Im about to hook up an Alpine MRP-F240 to them, hopefully to louden them up since my ancient Kenwood HU is really weak. Good easy replacements for stock.

Great Speakers!

Written By Mark, Jackson, MS on Wednesday, October 05, 2005
 
I purchased these speakers to replace the stock front speakers in my 03 F150 SuperCrew. I am very pleased. I would like a little more bass, but I think I will have to add a sub to get what I'm looking for. In general, this is a great speaker for the price!

Pioneer TS-A6880R

Written By Leevon, aliso viejo, ca on Friday, July 29, 2005
 
these speakers are great, not just for the size and money, but they're great period! they have great highs. so much so that i notice parts in songs that i could never hear before with my stock speakers. the highs will hurt your ears if turned up all the way. these speakers handle bass well for their size. they don't bump, but i'm sure not too many 6x8's do. i set the bass to the right level and can turn them up all the way with no distortion and they are so crisp. i wonder what they'd do with a stronger head unit (i'm running stock). i have a Mazda B4000 and all four speakers fit perfect, and you can see the speakers through the grates and it looks cool. these are a great speaker for clarity and decent bass for the money. the only complaint i have would be to have more bass, but i wasn't willing to spend that kind of money, plus these are such small speakers i'm sure it's impossible. i'll just add a box or something.i wanted clarity over bass anyways. plus, the highs are so good, that every little imperfection in my cd's are noticeable when it crackles, guess i have to take better care of my cd's now that i have nice speakers that'll spit out static on old cd's. that just goes to show how crisp and well performing these speakers are though.

Pioneer TS-A6880R

Written By PAUL, Bardstown, KY on Sunday, May 29, 2005
 
I placed these speakers in a 00 Sable and they sound great. Panasonic head unit(4x25RMS) with a built in 7 band eq and the recievers crossover set at 90hz these speakers pour out smooth mids and crisp highs. (Two 10" subs take care of the base) The reciever does an excellent job of pushing these speakers and I couldnt be happier with them.

These are good! 4.5

Written By Mike, Yuma,AZ on Wednesday, May 25, 2005
 
Bought these to replace my stock speakers in my Ford Focus... And they are great! Nice crisp highs ... will hurt you ears if amplified. The only problem is the mids dont really sound great. The mids come out .. so so but if you have a sub then dont worry about it! and BUY these! They will make your car sound very good and will produce good quality music.

Pioneer TS-A6880R Speakers

Written By Barbara, Colorado on Thursday, April 28, 2005
 
When shopping for speakers I was looking for something with a good value and great sound. Pioneer's TS-A6880R are just that. I run a Kenwood EZ 500 for my deck and purchased two pairs of these speakers to replace the stock ones that came with my 03 Ranger. The installation went smoothly except the screws they sent me were too long and would have punctured the grill. I bought some spacers and everything dropped in perfectly after that. After listening to several generas of music I found that these hit the lows without distorting the highs and the mids come out well too. If you want value and quality go with a pair of the TS-A6880R's speakers.

Awesome speakers

Written By Adam, Columbia, Missouri on Thursday, March 03, 2005
 
These speakers are the ones I bought to replace my factory speakeres in my 2002 explorer and even with the factory cd player they sound great. I would highly recomend Dynamat extreme for these speakers because they have a very good bass response and the dynamat definitly helped buffer any vibration against my door panels. A++++++ on these speakers.
